Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi will participate in a 4-part let’s play series with the goal of beating Final Fantasy VI. The first part will feature Square Enix pixel artist Kazuko Shibuya as a guest.

Nobuo Uematsu is best known as the maestro behind the composition of the earlier Final Fantasy series, but lately, he’s been working as a freelancer. He recently shared his thoughts on how he wants to make a new 2D game to surpass Final Fantasy VI.

One neat thing about all of these Final Fantasy re-releases is Square Enix has been translating classics like Final Fantasy VI into more languages. Originally only released in Japanese and English, Final Fantasy VI has been localized into a dozen languages.

The sprite graphics were remade for the first time and here’s an interesting tidbit about that – Kazuko Shibuya, one of the sprite creators for the first six Final Fantasy games, was brought back to supervise the process.
